Michael’s Musings – WWE Hell in a Cell Predictions

This Sunday, WWE presents Hell in a Cell, and it does not look half bad. It is the other half that worries me. Shockingly WWE has done a decent job of building up most of the matches on the card but as always, they have left themselves room for special “bonus” matches on the card.

Randy Orton vs Alberto del Rio
This is the 2nd biggest match on the Smackdown side of things and it is between two people that can go toe to toe with each other in the ring. This match could go either way but I think that I am going to with Alberto del Rio for the simple fact that he needs the win more than Orton does. Randy Orton will always be Randy Orton and he can be a credible threat to the WWE or World Title at a moment’s notice but the same cannot be said about Del Rio. Del Rio was out and out embarrassed for the past 6 months during his feud with Sheamus and needs a win to make him a credible threat to the World Champion again.WINNER: Alberto del Rio

WWE Tag Team Championship Match
Team Hell No vs Team Rhodes Scholars
First of all, I hate that WWE is putting “Team” in front of tag team names, it is just redundant. 2nd of all, the tag team championship tournament was the most predictable tournament in WWE history. The Rhodes Scholars attacked Kane and Daniel Bryan before the tournament even began. 3rd of all, considering that Team Hell No is the hottest act in the WWE right now, and are getting more time on WWE TV than CM Punk and Sheamus combined, it would make no sense to break them up. That is exactly why I am picking them to lose. WWE writing rarely makes sense and having Daniel Bryan cost himself and Kane the title against a heel team would keep Bryan a heel.WINNER: THe Rhodes Scholars

The Prime Time Players vs Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio
I am delighted that the WWE has been playing attention to their tag team scene lately and these are the two teams that should be facing each other over the tag team titles but because of Vince’s third game sense of humor, these two team will be fighting for pride alone while Team Hell No facing the Rhodes Schalors and argue about who is the Tag Team Champion. I expect a decent showing out of the two of them with Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara coming out on top to earn a title shot down the line.WINNERS: Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara
